It looks like some of the earlier TBI units used a straight connector on their TPS sensor, and the later ones used a round one. Does anyone know if the sensors interchange (can I bolt a round plug one on one that came with a straight plug and vice versa)?

Huh, thinking about it, same question about the air cleaner studs, can you use a single air cleaner stud on a TB that originally came with 2 studs?

No, you can't. I have a couple of spare TBI units just for parts and I just double-checked to make sure. The bolt holes are in different locations, and neither style TPS will fit on the other. Bolt lengths are different, too. You either have to get a different TBI unit or repin the harness. TurboCity makes an adapter harness, but it seems to me it would be cheaper just to make your own.

I am pretty sure you can. All the TBI units I have seen are pre-drilled and tapped for the single air cleaner studs. All you'd have to do there is just find that air cleaner stud, install it, remove the 2 original air cleaner studs, replace them with bolts like on the single stud TBIs, and that's it.
